who's Had both

ok thanks guys i wasnt gonna do it just instred on how

 

ive had a few of each.

8v DIGI and K-Jet - K-jet diffenately more lively - DIGI easiest GTI to drive slowly

16v with 42mm and 52mm inlets. 42mm much more fun on the roads, improves low down torque, 52mm for on the track. either way past 4k it just gets crazy and soooooooooooo much more fun than 8v

 

Well done the Essex massive.

Mate, dont listen to anything they say. Ever.

 

i've had both as well.....altho i drove a digi before i owned my k-jet and that digi appeared to have less throttle response, when i later got a digi myself i felt its throttle was as good

 

i drove an 8v for a while, it scared me sooo much i had to get something less terrifying ( see sig)

 

HAHAHAHA mine too dam shat heap's engine went bang took the head off only to find the piston ring exploded too much trrrrrrrrrrrk ,then i got a 2nd hand motor for it 2 months later some 17year old tart pulls out on me the trrrrrk's pushed her 500 feet , i was only going 10 mph

my 16v got nicked in london < shat hole

It`s a liitle known fact that God himself drove an 8v Mk2. He attempted to de-restrict it and inadvertantly created the universe from the resultant release of torks.
It took him six days to get all the torks under control, and, on the seventh day he needed a rest, so sold the car on. It now resides in my carpark, and, despite his efforts to restrain the torks I`m afraid we could see another `Big Bang` any day now. It`ll possibly happen on my way to work in ten minutes time, so, I`d advise you to say goodbye to your loved ones...

 

so how would one go about doing it?

 

remove exhaust manifold, and put power boost in.

 

dont do it...no man can handle the torque tbh

 

?? what ??


would that be the same for an fto?

 

I've got both, i find they're really quite different in that the 8v is blue and rusty, and the 16v is red and shiny! Neither work though currently lol, so they match each other on performance atm.

 

you realise once you de restrict a 8v you cant go back....be sure you can handle the low end fury before doing it



the back to future delorean had a de restricted 8v lump to perform that, he also had the back seat laid flat for added ooomph

awesome thread
8v's rule

 

aint that the truth, i read thta somewhere myself too, in the new testiment, chapter 8.



i just scanned an ancient scripture.

this was moments after god did a full bore launch in 4th. that is way the earth leans on a 13* axis.

god used an 8v mk2 to create the seasons

(that line up there was so good someone has to put it in their sig)

 

would love to be a newbie reading this class

 

Doesnt the Bugatti Veyron use the 1.8 8V engine from a Mk2? Albeit a restricted version!

 

i think i will

 

it was an actual experiment to see if the 8v would rotate the world faster and prove that the 1.8 8v is the greatest engine in the world. but due to excessive torque they had to settle for a tame w16
